Endel hides from Stalin’s secret police in a remote Estonian village because of his forced service in the German army during World War II. His attempts to keep a low profile as a physical education instructor at a local school come under threat when he uses his love of fencing to develop a rapport with his students and, consequently, raises the ire of the party-loyalist school principal.

  • The Other in Contemporary Swedish Cinema
    Division of Art History and Visual Studies Department of Arts and Cultural Sciences Lund University Sweden The Other in Contemporary Swedish Cinema Portrayals of Non-White Swedes in Swedish Cinema 2000-2010 A Master’s Thesis for the Degree Master of Arts (Two Years) in Visual Culture Elina Svantesson Spring 2012 Supervisor: Ingrid Stigsdotter 1 LUND UNIVERSITY ABSTRACT DIVISION OF ART HISTORY AND VISUAL STUDIES / FILM STUDIES MASTER OF ARTS IN VISUAL CULTURE The other in contemporary Swedish cinema Portrayals of non-white Swedes in Swedish cinema 2000-2010 Elina Svantesson The evident place that film has in society makes it a powerful medium that journeys across borders of nationalities, sexualities, and ethnicities. Film represents, and since representation is of importance when acquiring knowledge and a continuous changing medium, it must be scrutinised continuously. In this thesis, contemporary Swedish mainstream cinema (2000-2010) has been examined for its representations of immigrants, Arabs and non-white Swedes. Concepts of culture, identity and whiteness are used to make sense of these representations and politics is shown to have a strong impact on the medium. Making use of the notion of “whiteness”, the thesis suggests that non-white Swedes are considered different to white Swedes. The Arab, for example, is given many negative traits previously seen in anti-Semitic, pre-WWII images of the Jew. Furthermore, many films were proven to exclude non-white Swedes from a depicted society, geographical and social. This exclusion of “the other” can be considered a representation in itself, a reflection of a divided Swedish society. Non-white Swedes are a large group of people, and it is argued that instead of portraying a static, shallow image of non-white Swedes, the Swedish film industry and society, could benefit from anticipating a new cinematic society and by including this group.

Since his literary debut in 1985, the novelist, playwright, screenwriter and comedian Gardell has time and again mesmerized the reading audience with moving, stylistically immaculate prose that ricochets off the page. His unique mixture of humor and heartbreaking episodes fetched from his own life as a member of the LGBTQ community has made Gardell a trendsetting authorship in Scandinavia. Deeply personal, utterly unfazed by taboos, and with a humor you can’t guard against, he is finally back with the national No. 1 bestseller, In Memory of an Unconditional Love . Till minne av en villkorslös kärlek (In Memory of an Unconditional Love) In Memory of an Unconditional Love is the story of the (in fiction) late author Jonas Gardell RiGhTS SoLD and his family. A family that is much like any other, except perhaps for the creative way in Finland, Johnny Kniga which it handles weakness. In the Gardell family, secrets and unwanted truths have a Sweden, Norstedts tendency to change shape, transforming into legends that – much like a skillfully executed magic trick – dazzle the eye with a prettier truth. The best teller of such legends was without a doubt Ingegärd Rasmussen, Jonas’ loving mother. The eccentric Free Church-raised Ingegärd, born in the not-so-roaring Swedish twenties, was a woman surrounded on all sides by obstacles dictating what a woman should be.

    Swedish Film Series Winter, 2009; Fridays at 7 pm; 177 Lawrence Hall FREE and open to the public Probably no other nation of comparable population can match the artistic success of Sweden in the film industry. Yet few Americans—aside from a small group of Ingmar Bergman fans—could name even one Swedish film. This series aims to change that. Come sample a rich variety of wonderful films made between 1951 and 2006. All nine films are in Swedish with subtitles in English. Each film is preceded by a short presentation about a particular aspect of Swedish culture (e.g., food, geography, language) as well as a brief intro- duction to the film itself. At the conclusion of the film, audience members who wish to stay for another 10-15 minutes are invited to participate in a short, not-overly-academic discussion of the film. Lawrence Hall is located in the central part of the University of Oregon cam- pus, about 100 yards north of the intersection of 13th and University.

The film was shot in 76 days in Switzerland, New York, Budapest and Borneo. In a massive operation, the film team went to remote locations in the last remnants of primary jungle on Borneo, bringing back images of stunning beauty. The indigenous actors were cast among the original Penan people who continue their struggle to this day. This unique approach will certainly make PARADISE WAR stand out as one of the most remarkable films to come out in 2019, including a fantastic soundtrack by Academy Award®-winning composer Gabriel Yared. 1984: Searching for an experience that goes deeper than the superficiality of modern civilisation, Bruno Manser travels into the jungles of Borneo and finds it with the nomadic Penan tribe. It is an encounter that changes his life forever. When the existence of the Penan is threatened by relentless deforestation, Manser takes up the fight against logging with a courage and determination that makes him one of the most renowned and credible environmentalists of his time.

  • W Poszukiwaniu Duchowości Dalekiego Wschodu – Synkretyczna Wizja Filmu Only God Forgives Na Tle Twórczości Nicolasa Windinga Refna
    MAREK SFUGIER W POSZUKIWANIU DUCHOWOŚCI DALEKIEGO WSCHODU – SYNKRETYCZNA WIZJA FILMU ONLY GOD FORGIVES NA TLE TWÓRCZOŚCI NICOLASA WINDINGA REFNA I jeżeli twa prawa ręka stanie ci się powodem upadku, odetnij ją i odrzuć od siebie. Bo lepiej dla ciebie, jeżeli stracisz jeden ze swych członków, niż żeby całe ciało twoje miało pójść do piekła. Kazanie na górze, Mt 5,301 Wstęp Lata 90. minionego wieku obfitowały w liczne debiuty filmowe reżyserów młodego pokolenia. Spośród nich wszystkich do niewątpliwie udanych należy zaliczyć film Pusher2 Nicolasa Windinga Refna. Urodzony w 1970 r. w Danii reżyser wpisuje się w grono twórców, którzy mimo braku wykształcenia w sztuce kinematograficznej odnieśli ogromny sukces na arenie międzynarodowej. Wyrzucony z nowojorskiej Amerykańskiej Akademii Sztuk Dramatycznych, zrezygnował z prestiżowej Duń- skiej Szkoły Filmowej, aby oddać się całkowicie realizacji wspomnianego już pełno- metrażowego debiutu. Podobnie jak Quentin Tarantino czy Kevin Smith pozostał przy tym samoukiem, działającym raczej intuicyjnie niż z wyuczonym schematy- zmem. Ważniejsze od rzemiosła okazały się pasja oraz potrzeba twórczej ekspre- sji – zaszczepione u młodego Nicolasa poprzez seanse kinowe, a także utrwalone w domowym zaciszu dzięki telewizorowi oraz kasetom wideo. Ponadto dla osoby cierpiącej na dysleksję i ślepotę barw kinematografia stanowiła w okresie dojrzewa- nia swego rodzaju audiowizualny filtr, dzięki któremu Refn doświadczał otaczającej go rzeczywistości. Szczególną fascynację znalazł zaś w amerykańskim kinie gatun- kowym, tak znienawidzonym przez matkę i ojczyma. 1 Cyt. za: Pismo Święte Nowego Testamentu, tłum. z j. greckiego S.
